If you enjoy city building games and strategic games where you have to plan out every move you make and construct the most powerful kingdom in the world, then Kingdoms & Lords is just the game for you! Build your kingdom and expand it, attack others and defend against enemies, be the most feared king of the world! Kingdoms & Lords has been developed and successfully released by game developer Gameloft. The game has been downloaded over a million times with a rating of 4.3 out of 5 on Google Play Store and a 4 star rating on iOS App Store.
You start your gameplay of Kingdoms & Lords with a tutorial that teaches you the basics of the game. There are a lot of features and options you can explore in the game, so having a tutorial is really nice. In the tutorial, you will learn how to construct new buildings, how to train new troops, how to battle enemies and how to visit other kingdoms. The goal in Kingdoms & Lords is to successfully build and rule the strongest kingdom of the world.
After you have played the game for a while, it will become pretty straightforward. There are two menus at the top corners of the screen. One is for Tasks and the other one is for Tools. At the Tasks menu, you can see what your next tasks are. For instance, at the beginning you need to construct a farm and plant crops on it. Completing tasks will reward you with gold coins and experience points in the form of shields. Collecting enough shields will level you up, and in turn will unlock more buildings to construct and more troops to train. Every building has its own timer, where you can see when you can collect more taxes again. You need to repeat this procedure until you level up more and are able to expand your kingdom. You do this by purchasing plots of land neighboring your kingdom, after which you can construct buildings on it and expand your kingdom.
You have an energy bar in the game, and for every action that you take, you will use one of your energy bolts. For example, if you collect the tax from one of your buildings, you will use one energy bolt. Your energy bar is very limited, but thankfully your energy bolts replenish themselves over time. For every three minutes of waiting, you will get back one energy bolt.
If you are low on gold coins and you have enough energy bolts left, you can always visit other kingdoms and collect taxes and experience points. You will help your neighbors out but also help yourself out, so it is a win-win situation.
There are three types of lotteries in Kingdoms & Lords called the Bronze, Silver and Gold Lottery. If you log in daily, you will be able to play the Bronze Lottery once for free, but playing in the Silver or Gold lottery will guarantee you of better prizes. Taking part in the Silver Lottery costs two gems and taking part in the Gold Lottery costs five gems. The prizes you can win range from boosters to gold coins, and are very useful in your gameplay.
There are three ways of playing Kingdoms & Lords. You can log in using your Facebook, so that you can play together with your friends and help each other out. You can also make a Gameloft account so you can play with other players around the world. If you feel playing alone, you can simply use a guest account.

I believe that every gamer has used some sort of cheats when they were playing a game, be it to make it easier for themselves or simply because cheating allows for funny moments in the gameplay itself. Mobile gamers are no exclusion to this and many cheat websites know this. Fake cheat websites have been on the rise, and they are out to lure people in with so called cheat tools which allegedly could inject your mobile game with modified game files, so you will have unlimited resources, gold coins, premium currencies etc. you got my point. Most of these websites are professionally designed, have logos all around the webpage stating that they are 100% scam free and clean, and even fake testimonials saying how they trusted the website is.
For the sake of this review, I decided to download and try out a cheat tool for Kingdoms & Lords which allegedly could give me as many diamonds and gold coins as I wanted. Before I could start downloading the cheat tool, I needed to fill in a survey. These surveys are there so that the fake cheat website and download website can make money off of people. After I had filled in the survey, my download started and I tried to start the program. As you may have already figured out, the cheat tool didn’t actually work, because they are nothing but fake files. Usually you will get some sort of error message stating how the cheat tool is missing some files and you should re-download it, but occasionally they might be infested with viruses. Instead of risking your computer with nasty viruses, I will give you some tips and tricks that will help you with your gameplay and make it easier for you to progress through the game.
It is very important in Kingdoms and Lords that you have enough energy and gold coins, so you do not need to wait a long time before your energy bar refills. You can avoid this by adding as many friends and neighboring kingdoms to your friends list. You can visit their kingdoms and complete five tasks there without losing any energy bolts. You do gain gold coins and experience points, so it is really a win-win situation for yourself.
There is a little trick which you can use to earn much more coins with your basic buildings in your kingdom. For instance, you should completely surround your homestead with decorations. Make sure that these decorations are the ones with a payout boost attached to them. Now the building in between the decorations will get a much bigger payout in gold coins then it normally would. What you can do is, move every building you have that is about to be ready to pay you out, in between the decorations and then click on the payout button. Now move all your buildings back and forth to collect all the pay outs with a big bonus. This little trick will help you save up a lot more gold coins in a much faster pace.
Before you go into a battle, you should always have enough troops ready. You should preferably combine different types of troops, so that you will have an advantage during battles. You should remember that Sword beats Spear, Spear beats Axe and Axe beats sword, so when you put your soldiers in order, you must make the right choices. It is important that when the battle starts, that you focus on one enemy at first and take him down. After that you can freely take down the others because your enemies will be weaker.
Kingdoms & Lords Review
Kingdoms & Lords starts with a nice tutorial that teaches you the basics of the game. It is nice to have a tutorial in a big game such as this because of the fact that a lot of casual gamers might get confused on what to do next. After the tutorial ends, you will still be helped out with text bubbles telling you what to do next. The gameplay becomes pretty straightforward after you get used to it, but still entertaining if you are into strategic city building games.
I like the fact that you can connect with your friends on Facebook so you can help each other out and play together. There are a lot of options and features to explore in Kingdoms & Lords, which makes it a decent game to play in my opinion. The visuals, graphics and animations are also pretty nice, fitting the theme of the game itself. I really like the fact that the game does not have any advertisements, so players do not get obstructed by pop-ups or banners showing up all of a sudden.
Unfortunately there are also several negative aspects about Kingdoms of Lords. For starters, players get limited by an energy bar. You can only complete a certain amount of actions before you are forced to wait for your energy bar to replenish. You could of course replenish your energy bar by using diamonds, but these are really hard to obtain by playing the game itself, and are pretty expensive when you purchase them in the in-game store. I never agree with developers who limit the playtime of players. I think players should be able to play the game whenever they want, however long they want.
The second negative aspect about Kingdoms & Lords is that, while the game is advertised as free-to-play, it is really a pay-to-win game. If you do not want to spend any money, or simply are in no position to spend any money in this game, then you will most likely have no chance against other players that do. Literally everything in the game is purchasable with diamonds, which are purchasable with real money.
Artwork: I give Kingdoms & Lords a 7/10 for its artwork. The graphics in Kingdoms & Lords are not very spectacular, but they do not need to be for the game type that it is. I like the fact that the developers spend a lot of time, detailing out every single object and building in the game. I can easily tell that it must have taken a lot of time to come up with all the different types of buildings, troops and objects. The user interface is clear, and it is easy to distinguish what is what, after you have played the game for a little while. The world map is detailed, and you can zoom in and out if you would like to. I also like the fact that there are small animations when you, for example, collect taxes or level up.
Music & SFX: I give Kingdoms & Lords an 8/10 for its music and SFX. There is a nice soundtrack in the background when you play Kingdoms & Lords, which fits the overall theme of the game pretty well. There is also a different soundtrack during the battles, which is nice because having the same soundtracks would be pretty boring. The soundtrack during battles actually is pretty exciting, and makes the battles more thrilling. There are also a lot of sound effects in the game, for a lot of actions which you can take. Everything from the menu buttons to collecting taxes and collecting gold coins and experience points has its own sound effect. This makes the game feel livelier. The soundtracks and sound effects fit each other pretty well.
Story & Originality: I give Kingdoms & Lords a 5/10 for its story and originality. I could name at least three games from the top of my head that have the very same game mechanics and gameplay as Kingdoms & Lords, which is a shame. The game itself has a lot of potential, but unfortunately there is not much originality here. The only reason I am cutting it some slack is because there is a story at the beginning, telling you what your goal is in the game, and why you have to do everything in your power to achieve this goal.
General Gameplay: I give Kingdoms & Lords an 8/10 for general gameplay. When you first start playing Kingdoms & Lords, there is a small tutorial which explains how you can construct buildings and fight in battles. It shows you some other things as well, and I think it is nice when feature-rich games such as Kingdoms & Lords have a tutorial. After the tutorial, you are basically on your own, but you will occasionally be assisted by your guide when you are about to take an action that you haven’t done before. The controls in this game are smooth and responsive, though it is sometimes hard to click on the right button when you want to construct buildings. I like the fact that you can zoom in and out the world map, so you can see your kingdom in more detail and plan out in which direction you want to expand.
Addictiveness: I give Kingdoms & Lords a 6/10 for addictiveness. The game itself is pretty addictive, but this gets ruined by the energy bar limit that the developers have implemented. You are only able to take a couple of actions before you run out of energy bolts and you need to wait three minutes for one bolt to replenish. There is also the fact of Kingdoms & Lords being pay-to-win, so players who do not want to spend any money on the game have absolutely no chance when they battle against players that do spend money on the game.
All things considered, I give Kingdoms & Lords a 7/10.
